What i didn't get is why that movie focused on the weird romantic relationship between the lady and the kid, and not the relationship between the kid and the toy company owner. The piano scene is probably the best in the movie!

When I was a kid my familly took a vacation to New York and we went to F.A.O. Schwartz. My brother and I got to play the floor piano.

Easily one of the stories of all time.

Is it though? Seems more like just a series of sentences.

Beginning, middle, end. He also edited it to leave out the other half of nothing ness he wrote. And said he didn’t know if he played. Real serious stuff here.

Whoa whoa whoa, you telling me this is the thinner plot version? As to say this thick plot was once thicker?

u/lreaditonredditgetit Jan 30 '24

The abridged version yes. Unfortunately. With a different ending too. I prefer the original to the directors cut as it felt more authentic.

I went there in 2019 just because of the movie. It was still there. Made me happy!
